NEW!!! Carbon Fiber XULE Bodies!!!!!!!

Heres a look at what will be avail in 2014!!!!!!!

New XULE carbon fiber main bodies for automags.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Angel feedneck and dual detent threads
-Autococker barrel threads
-Will work on almost any AGD mag except classic RT/sydarm
-25% lighter than a AGD ULE body
-Real Carbon fiber construction.....breech area is 7075 aluminum.
-Two piece carbon body allows you to change the front tube to different styles...creating a new look
-Once piece carbon body features a bolt on feedneck adapter block....the prototype has angel threads but other threads may be avail if there is enough demand.....another great thing about this design is you can change it if you damage the threads....Its a heavy duty piece made of 7075 aluminum and bolted on with 4 8-32 screws.

The Bodies shown below are prototypes....I am in the process of testing them. The Two Piece body is going to be cheaper to make/buy....The one Piece body has allot of extra steps/more pieces involved in its construction and will be more expensive. Its to early to say but the carbon fibers will be slightly more expensive than my RT/Minimag ULE bodies i produce out of aluminum. Carbon Fiber is expensive and a pain in the ass to work with....But it sure does look cool!!!!

Make sure you do the poll at the top of the thread....only one design is going to make the cut and be produced.

Post on here and let me know what you guys think.

One piece is on the top and the two piece is on the bottom...both have RT Front

Nice work! I can't wait to hear how testing goes. You know we will all need more carbon fiber parts to match right?

Yes!!! Not enough hours in the day to make all the stuff i want to sell! I plan to make some carbon emag frame panels and maybe a carbon fiber grip for mechanicals....possibly a carbon emag battery housing.

I'm kinda blown away by the single tube version. I have to wonder how well a hopper will hold up on it. This application seems ideal to me to be a warp fed body, as the neck doesn't have much of any load on it unless snagged somehow.

anything is possible really.....only problem is the RT center section is not the same. The mounting boss and feed holes are in a different spot from what you see here....as always...if there is enough interest. Your grip frames look nice!

Lol wow that is just soo SICK,MAN those are soo cool!
I love both of them and it would be hard to chose but if I had to ,I would go with the one you would say that is more durable over the other.I'm not ruff on my stuff by no means. :-)
I cannot pick one up anytime soon but could put on the wishlist for spring or summer once the overtime kicks in again.:-) :-)

How is the mounting bung attached under there?

The feedneck adapter is very strong....Its made from 7075 aluminum and its bolted into the 7075 aluminum breech insert thats inside the carbon fiber tube using 4 8-32 screws...Its very solid.

The locating boss on the bottom is made from 316 stainless steel...its threads into the breech insert with red loctite on it.

Couldn't that internal breach piece be milled to hold ego/spyder style detents and the CF tube would hold everything in place? Replacing the detents would be just popping off the feedneck mount and stainless locating boss and sliding the internal breach piece out of the tube. Heck, you could slot the bottom of the CF tube so that the locating boss doesn't have to be removed.

I voted 2 piece cause I love options and the potential to color the center aluminum area. Although that full CF body is super cool. Never thought making a choice of automag bodies would be so hard. As my childhood t-ball coach would say "you're all winners!"

I really favor the one piece body...but i must say i do like the option of changing front tubes.
If the one piece bodies make it to production you will be able to buy it with any style front milling you want.
